Priority God

There are two gods I must prioritize,
the god of me, then, God, the God of You,
small me, then You Whose name we capitalize,
one is the greater god, more real, more true.

Which do I spend more of my money on?
When others I look at, who do I see?
Who most I think about, who makes me yawn?
My time, my needs, who’s my priority?

Who made the universe, who’s more like God?
To which one do they pray, who answers prayers?
Who sets the norm, and who’s a little odd?
When people get in trouble, Lord, who cares?

When I pretend I’m God, what have I got?
Why do I think I’m You, Lord, when I’m not?
